Inside Student Life A glimpse inside OSU student life reveals many experiences that blend together to make the year its own memory. A peaceful, friendly atmosphere greets you as you enter the campus grounds, but a world of activity is ever present. Step into the Union and witness a flurry of movement as students grab a quick Coke between classes, buy a card or gift for a special friend or gag: care of business at the Activities office or Take a look inside the Classroom Building. Stu- dents attend class to learn a brief fifty minutes of history or economics or something else. Instruc- tors' voices echo through the halls and mingle together, emitting an academic air. Glance into the library and listen to the silence, occasionally interrupted by the sound of pages turning and voices whispering. Or stay outside and join a frisbee game on the library lawn, or feed the ducks at Theta Pond. Just a step inside campus life reveals hundreds of activities occurring at the same time and form- ing a mixture that is uniquely OSU. , .. ' . ' DI - ,.

And you could bet as the first warm beams of sun brought temperatures up to the sixty degree mark, students shed coats and sweat- ers, donned cut-offs and T-shirts and headed outdoors to catch some rays. Mom and dad might have frowned at the sight of their child in shorts on a still somewhat chilly afternoon. But, after trudging through snow and ice for three months, students welcomed the fresh smells of spring weather with open arms. The population moved outdoors to study, play softball or participate in such annual outdoor events as Spring- fest and Sigma Chi Derby Day. March 8 marked the OSU celebra- tion of a new Spring when thousands of students converged on the Strip for the sixth annual Streaker Night before spring break. As spring's warmth turned into summer heat, a look inside OSU would show another change. The mass exo- dus of students left a sparse campus community consisting of 6,344 sum- mer school students. But the students who stayed took advantage of the heat and the quiet atmosphere to relax, get a tan and gear up for the coming fall semester.
